(2019)Time to stop polishing the brass on the Titanic: moving beyond 'quick-and-dirty' teacher education for inclusion, towards sustainable theories of change. International Journal of Inclusive Education.
The notion of integrating ICT in education has proven to provide various solutions to educational issues. Preparing pre-service teachers for ICT integration has been crucial in many teacher training colleges and universities. The present paper with preliminary data findings explores the status, challenges and opportunities that exist in the integration of ICT tools in pre-service teacher education at the State University of Zanzibar. This was a mixed study that employed both qualitative and quantitative methods. However, the major approach used was quantitative. Initial findings indicate that despite SUZA having its own updated Learning Management System (LMS) and ICT tools and infrastructures, there are still many challenges related to infrastructures, readiness, ICT skills and comfortability in integrating ICT tools in teaching and learning. In addition, the paper explores the many opportunities that are available at the State University of Zanzibar in the integration of ICT in education particularly in pre-service teacher education.
